White Chocolate Cupcakes with Raspberry Champagne Buttercream

Ooo la la! This is probably one of the most fancy recipes I’m posting. While white chocolate raspberry champagne cupcakes seems fancy with all the words and deliciousness added in, it’s not that hard to make. What makes it fancy is there are three parts to the recipe instead of two.

I love the combinations of these flavors. The simplicity of the cupcake with the smoothness of the white chocolate ganache paired with the burst of flavors in the buttercream of raspberry and a hint of champagne. This screams all things romance and would make the perfect treat for your significant other. (You can even make it for the kids, just omit the champagne.)

I was really excited to make these boozy cupcakes. I haven’t made too many desserts with alcohol, but I’m off to a great start! These cupcakes scream romantic dinner date lit by candlelight followed by this amazing dessert which also pairs great with a glass of champagne. 😉 A great alternative to your typical Valentine’s Day dessert or a fantastic dessert to bring to a New Year’s Eve party!

Although, I could definitely see myself sharing a cupcake or two with my best friend on her couch and drinking champagne. Champagne is a drink of celebration, and I’m ok with celebrating all things including “making it through a Monday at work and I deserve this cupcake” kind of celebration. 🙂

If you are not an alcohol fan, it’s ok, you don’t have to add the champagne to still have a delicious cupcake.

So get your fancy pants on and head to the kitchen!
